  • The changing social position of the elderly in contemporary urban China

    Creator:
    Lin, Pei, 1966-
    Abstract:
    This thesis uses an anthropological approach to examine the current social status of the young elderly in contemporary urban China and explores the problems these people are facing. A review of literature sets up complementary theoretical frameworks for the understanding of the interaction between changing social environment and transitional life...

  • A VHDL description of speech recognition front-end

    Creator:
    Xiao, Xin
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates an implementation of speech recognition front-end. It is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) solution. A Mel Cepstrum algorithm is implemented for the feature extraction. We present a new mixed split-radix and radix-2 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm, which can effectively minimize the number of complex multiplications...

  • Thinness in Asia : eating disorders in Singapore as seen through anthropological eyes

    Creator:
    Isono, Maho
    Abstract:
    There has been a growing interest in eating disorders among Singaporean medical professionals since the 1990s, and the Singaporean public is also starting to become aware of the risks of these conditions. This ethnographic research on eating disorders in Singapore, conducted in 2001, however, found that the majority of the...

  • A biomechanical and physiological comparison of deep-water running styles

    Creator:
    Killgore, Garry L.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to identify a deep-water running (DWR) style that most closely approximates terrestrial running. Methods: Twenty healthy male and female intercollegiate (NCAA III) distance runners were videotaped from the right sagittal view while running on a treadmill (TR) and in deep water at 55-60%...

  • Thermodynamis and kinetics of Zr₅₈̣₅Cu₁₅̣₆Ni₁₂̣₈Al₁₀̣₃Nb₂̣₈ bulk metallic glass forming alloy

    Creator:
    Shah, Minalben B.
    Abstract:
    Among recently found multi-component Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMG), Zr₅₈.₅Cu₁₅.₆Ni₁₂.₈Al₁₀.₃Nb₂.₈ is characterized by its lower critical cooling rate requirement and absence of beryllium as one of the constituent element which makes its handling more convenient. Its large supercooled liquid regions made possible the study of thermodynamics and kinetics of this...

  • National culture and clothing values : a cross-national study of Taiwan and United States consumers

    Creator:
    Hsu, Hsiu-Ju
    Abstract:
    According to Blackwell, Miniard, and Engel (2001), "[c]ulture has a profound effect on why and how people buy and consume products and services" (p. 320). In the present study, Hofstede's classifications of national culture are used as a framework to examine the relationships among long-term orientation national culture (Taiwan and...

  • Multiple antenna techniques for pulse-based ultra-wideband system

    Creator:
    Vemulapalli, Sudheer
    Abstract:
    fIndoor wireless local area networks (LAN's) and personal area networks (PAN’s) have evolved very rapidly in the recent past. The indoor wireless LAN's are mainly dominated by narrow-band technologies like the IEEE 802.11a,b which are short range and provide data rates of 1 Mbps to 54 Mbps. The Bluetooth has...

  • Object highlighting : real-time boundary detection using a Bayesian network

    Creator:
    Jia, Jin
    Abstract:
    Image segmentation continues to be a fundamental problem in computer vision and image understanding. In this thesis, we present a Bayesian network that we use for object boundary detection in which the MPE (most probable explanation) before any evidence can produce multiple non-overlapping, non-self-intersecting closed contours and the MPE with...

  • Flow boiling of lithium bromide-water solution in microchannels, with application to desorption

    Creator:
    Fackrell, Kurt
    Abstract:
    Recent studies of flow boiling within microchannels have shown high heat fluxes, leading to successful design and testing of compact heat exchangers, cooling systems for electronics and other high efficiency, miniature components. An experimental study of flow boiling of a concentrated salt solution in microchannels is presented. Experiments examined flow...

    Creator:
    Evans, Sanford, 1968-
    Abstract:
    Shellfish growers have expressed interest in developing high-yielding oyster strains through selective breeding. This dissertation has three objectives to help determine the effects of genetic and environmental variation on production traits (body weight, survival, and yield) of Pacific oysters grown in the Pacific Northwest. Objective 1: Determine if relative family...
